dfwabel Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 USC names true freshman Matt Barkley their starting QB.Hey, didn't you used to be Mitch Mustain?Will his Mom fly out there this weekend to complain? I guess he cannot go to Auburn to join Malzahn now. Did any of those Springdale players become anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigga Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Why couldn't he transfer again?Of those Springdale players, I only know of WR Damien Williams (who transferred to USC before Mustain) getting any love as a pro prospect. That whole story is just a damn shame. On January 16, 2013 at 3:49 PM, NJTank said: Btw this is old hat for Notre Dame. Knits Rockne made up George Tip's death bed speech.

That whole story is just a damn shame.I am not saying that he could not, however after starting as a Freshman, then sitting for this long, why even think about another year in college? Just get to the next level and then start over if you have the talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigga Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I'm not saying that Mustain should transfer, I just haven't seen anything to lead me to believe he couldn't. I saw an article somewhere that said he wasn't considering transferring, even though he is the 3rd stringer. On January 16, 2013 at 3:49 PM, NJTank said: Btw this is old hat for Notre Dame.

infrared41 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Welcome to football under the guidance of Rich Rodriguez Michigan fans. And so it begins. I think if you look back in last year's NCAA Football thread I said that Michigan would rue the day they hired this clown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you look back in last year's NCAA Football thread I said that Michigan would rue the day they hired this clown.As a disinterested rebuttal, this is par for the course in Division I-AI'd be willing to bet that every Big 10 team with the exception of possibly Indiana (since I think they think they are an intramural program at this point) does at least that much time a week. Rodriguez more than likely did this at West Virginia and the NCAA had no problem. I think that what is really happening is that we have a crap tabloid in a dying town desperately trying to sell papers at the expense of research, credibility, and reporting.I also suspect that 1) During the last 5+ years of Lloyd Carr's tenure, the players were not worked that hard and had far fewer voluntary workouts. The failure of Michigan's supposed talent to win as often as they were supposed to against elite and very good opponents sort of bears this out. 2) The leftovers from the Carr era do not (understandably) like to work out as much now. That would leave your more inclined to go after the program if a paper in need of selling issues came calling.As a side note, said players are welcome to transfer to Indiana. They will find that the local program is at their speed in terms of work demands and provides plenty of time to drink and have hot and cold running coeds "study".

Still, as an Ohio State fan and alum I have a moral obligation to try to stir the fire on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadragon76 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Anything to stir the pot that is Michigan football... I can't help but laugh here. How much you guys want to bet that this is going to undercut any momnetum the Wolverines might have for the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I think this is more bitching and complaining from players who couldn't make the cut. This is a different head coach that does his training his way. There are West Virginia players out there that love it. This will only make the team better and show who his men really are. As a Michigan fan I really have no problem with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigga Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Again, coaches are perfect. The players are all pussies. They obviously can't hang.Go Blue!

-(dp)- Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 This story, for the most part, is a joke. This guy has already made it known that he doesn't support Rich Rodriguez. He is just going after him. Two of his 'sources' were true freshman who were asked misleading questions. The guy makes no mention of whether any of the activities were voluntary, or are among the activities that are exempt from going toward the 4 hour limit, and that wasn't mentioned in the claims. Also, I don't see how this would hurt the players on the field, Seadragon, if anything, it is bulletin board material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big XII and SEC style of an off-season still would have had people questioning him if he was selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
